KB Home Reviews in Tucson, AZ

Asked the same questions, promised, but never got answers.

Build times are longer these days. So plan on at least 9-10 months. The construction was done well and to our specifications.

Home seems well build.. we have an outlet that should be half hot that is not, so we have a wall switch that does nothing. We never got a 60 day walk thru we were told we would get..

Things seemed a little rough at first. Now, things are being done to get the house in great shape. Everybody is very nice, trying their best to be accommodating.

Problems with Purchasing Dept specifications and subs completing work.

Overall I think KB Homes are good homes to buy. This is my second time buying a KB Home. The first home I purchased was in CA 30 years ago. Great experience! This is my second KB Home. It is in AZ. Not a great experience! I was mistakenly expecting the same customer service as my CA experience. I will only mention the major problem because of time. The home I purchased was completed in June 2019. I looked at the house in December 2019 and decided to purchase it. We moved in at the beginning of February 2020. There were two electrical outlets in the second floor that did not work and four on the first floor. It is now April and I am still waiting for the work to be completed. My main concern regarding the customer service is why they did not check the house to ensure ALL of the electrical outlets were working properly BEFORE we moved into the house! There was plenty of time to do it. My son slept through one of the appointments since he works during the night. It was delayed for three weeks to be completed because of that! The day of the appointment to return, the customer service representative did not call to let me know the appointment was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic! So, my son was up all night and day because of his inconsideration! We should NEVER have been inconvenienced by the repairs since this should have been checked BEFORE we moved in! Now, here we wait to be rescheduled. How’s that for customer service? ... More

The cement in my driveway and sidewalk in front of my house did not cure property. It is gray and speckled when every house on the block and around the corner is white. It’s not right.

Be careful when buying one of these houses. The KB reps will do everything in their power to let you know that issues discovered during a house inspection is typical and not something they can fix. There warranty phone number and email is also not reliable and they say they will respond in 24 hours but that has not happened on multiple occasions. In fact, it requires multiple time to call and follow-up with them. Buyers beware.

Shoddy construction and materials issues

Elaine who sold the home to me was and has been great! Logan as also and has been awesome too. Everything else has been okay. The communication during construction was mediocre at best. It took longer than anticipated in building and the quality control was not there either. During my first walkthrough prior to closing their were quite a few items that were missed. Also with me being out of town 95% of the time just added more to the confusion of when completion was anticipated. A few items to note are that I am waiting on my garage door panels to be replaced. I have had to reschedule in order to accommodate my schedule. But none the less, my garage door was dented and should have been caught in KB Homes walkthrough prior to my arrival. ... More

Great experience with sales team. A few outstanding warranty items that need to be addressed, but great communication with warranty team so far.

I’m still waiting for things to get completed.

Check everything from top to bottom , this way you won't be surprised. Go see your home , ask questions.

We are still waiting for our shower floor to be fixed, our final termite inspection and I have a paint issue we would like to discuss.

Been in my home 6 weeks and I'm still waiting on ceiling fans, bathroom mirror, and the correct refrigerator. Ceiling fans are in. I took a day off work on the scheduled day and no one showed up. Still waiting. This part is very frustrating.

The mortgage piece was terrible. After move in , had several repairs, takes a lot of my work time. Used my electricity to build the neighbors house. The stucco walls are not flat.

Poor experience

I enjoyed picking out my home and designing it. However,, like any new home there are always issues that need to be resolved. Here is where they have been lacking. After 60 days in my new home, the issues have been left unfinished.

Very disappointed to learn at closing that the neighbors yards drains into mine. I purchased home with seeing it as I was out of state. Seller agent should have disclosed.

We signed for our home with them promising to fix several items on the home. Out side has not been painted Garage door is dented and weather stripping is falling off. Our wall in main entry is bowed. With a major curve in it.the other day a worker showed up to fix the wall and only had a hammer he smacked the wall 5 times breaking the base board and moving the wall back 2 inches still needs to be redone and now tile does not match wall . So need a tile guy to redo 2 tikes. a interior wall repatched and replanted (Not sure how you fix a wall with just a hammer and no materials. Front irrigation has never worked having broken pipes under ground the plants are now dead and we asked to be replaced. Emails are not responded to. Today a worker came fixed one pipe did not replace plants. Now No one returns emails or request. Our cabinets in kitchen is damaged and still missing one knob that they can not find. When asked they say supply chain or out of stock it been 2 month missing one knob. Bathroom shower is missing the piece that separates the 2 glass doors. Bedroom closet is unable to open or close. All small issues but no communication or follow thru Our buying experience was going great but now there is a disconnect and we start to feel jaded by not completing these small defects. What the model home is and what is delivered down the street is 2 totally different products. Kind of disappointed as this was suppose to a great community. ... More

Poor communication

Heidi our customer service rep has been great. She lends an attentive ear to the issues and has been able to get things corrected. Some examples were the hammer valve under the kitchen sink started leaking when we used the dishwasher, then the cabinets needed re-skinned due to water damage from leaking water, had the missing clothes bar installed in the bedroom closet...... Contractors are a little slow to respond. Construction Managers Cleaning crew, if they showed up did a very poor job cleaning. I have spent several hours so far cleaning floors and carpets mostly paint spatters. during the initial walk through we tagged many areas for paint touch up, areas where molding, door casings and trim had been damaged or poorly repaired, doors with noticeable runs, shelving in closets that looked like they were painted with over spray rather than smoothly painted. Very few of these items were corrected and some of those paint touch ups were done with the wrong paint ( flat on semi gloss or semi gloss on flat paint ). Door bottoms on many of the interior doors are chipped or splintered, front door whistles when the wind blows, ( this is scheduled for repair ). I asked for plans regarding the drainage in the back yard more than once and this request was ignored. I wanted to know how it was designed and works. The half hot outlets in the two smaller bedrooms were not identified. This list could go on and on. The thought is that the managers are moving way to fast and are missing things that should be corrected and they have little control over their sub contractors. ... More

Material is bad with this new houses

Initially house was to have been done in Nov/Dec. Did not close until March 21st 2022. Work and craftsmanship was shoddy and messy. It's as if the Foreman and workers had no pride in their work. Two months later and still missing two lighting elements and attic cover. Drywall, stucco and open joints are to be repaired June 1st, with paint touch ups on June 27th. Will see if this occurs as other promises were not kept. Neighbors also have a lot of "little issues" that they are waiting on repairs also. Very surprised and disappointed with KB.

everyone was pleasant to me. the quality of work for the tile and flooring was poor
